Is it greed? Or even possibly power? Or even just for the enjoyment? Nobody knows why war has started but we do know that war has been going on since man was born, there is an undeniable proof of war all throughout history. War has been compared to as a chest match, the whit and strategy of one general versus another army to army; some generals chose to just try to outpower their enemies, while others tried to outsmart them.…
The thought was that there is a finite amount of wealth in the world, and the only way to gain wealth is to conquer others. Conquering other territories and fulfilling the desire to grow the empires of these European nations made Imperialism for economic reasons evermore important. All parties that were involved in the war had their own national interests in mind, and most wanted to empire and end the war with more territories than they started the war with. It would allow for more resources and wealth for the empire. This especially the case with Africa, more specifically, Liberia and Ethiopia. Another direct benefit from an empire that spans the world is the ability to conveniently trade around the world. An important component of trade and war is the ships and navy that many countries were building at this time. Technology was at the point in time where many things were coal powered, but the boats could only hold so much coal. With an empire that encompasses the whole globe, ships can refuel and sail longer, helping the trade within the…
An example for going into a war due to involvement by the country, is the French involvement in Vietnam. Due to colonizing Vietnam, the French didn’t want to lose said area; so they went to war. Second, is alliances. Alliances are a strategic reason to become involved in a war, because then when your country needs the help, alliances will have your back. Countries without alliances are at risk for attack or imperialism. The third reason of benefits for a country is a risky justification. Many Americans were dissatisfied with US involvement in the Frist Gulf War due to the hidden reason of wanting to obtain Kuwait’s special oil. However, benefits such as stopping terrorism by being involved in the War on Terror are more than enough. If lives will be saved in the long run by going to war, the war is just. Lastly, a just reason for going to war would be if injustices are happening. The only example needed more this rationale is the countless lives lost when Adolf Hitler decided that those not of his Aryan ideal could be wasted. War is not an end all to problems, but it is at times, the only…

With war going on and so many casualties pg(508) show that other nations get involved because the other feel too weak to fight by itself and will ask for help which that can affect more than one nations and the others join in and now everyone is fight which is the main reason war is horrible and not good.

Within Europe, imperialism occurred at the height of industrialization. As European countries were discovering more about the sciences and mass production benefits via industrialization, a demand and competition for more land and produce was developing, and this would create the tension needed to begin the First World War. Germany and Great Britain were two powerful European countries that had been trying to establish control in Africa and Asia, two countries that were not as strong as them, and relatively vulnerable. Due to rebellions of the native people and interferences by each other and other countries, they were not entirely successful. This lack of cooperation between European countries in the attempt to govern and control weaker states so as to use their products for trade caused tension, and finally after it built up to a certain point, war was the only option left.…

Other types of wars could also be for a religious, class, unification, trade and revolutionary cause.…
